Breakfast: Wishes vs. Reality

What I'd make if I had time: a "slinger," hashbrowns, a couple eggs and a sausage or ground pork patties, generously covered with chili, with onions and cheese.

Wikipedia tells me it's a "Midwestern diner specialty," but until I stumbled over the article, I'd never heard of it. (Despite that, I invented my own version one weekend morning: corned beef hash, fried egg, chili on top, much better than you'd expect).

Oh God it all makes me so hungry! Bobby (and no, you don't have to print this), my e-mail is ewen55@att.net. I lost Roseholme Cottage's address, for the third time (Nigerian hacks, why I moved from hotmail.com).

If I write Tammy again, she'll think I went senile. I have to send her some firearms related stuff, all non-4473.

Also, it occurs to me that you were interested in some paper from a mostly out of business printing shop I know of. I just saw the guy again after 2 or so years, and he said to help myself.

Sorry, the linotype is spoken for, and soon to be Lyman 311467's for my Schmidt-Rubins.

"I saw to what extent the people among whom I lived could be trusted as good neighbors and friends; that their friendship was for summer weather only; that they did not greatly propose to do right; that they were a distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions."
